GAVE UP FARM
EX-SOLDIER’S MISFORTUNE In tile statement to his creditors this morning, lan Ramsay Webster, a farmer, living at Mount Roskill, attributed his bankruptcy to the loss of his cattle through sickness and failure to obtain a sufficient supply of milk when he was pig-farming. Webster’s debts, all unsecured, were £ 613, his assets £ll7, and the deficiency £496. He was married and had three young children. In 1919, after his return from the war, he took over a farm at Rotorua, but the causes of his bankruptcy forced him to give it up. Mr. G. N. Morris, the Official Assignee, agreed that Webster had had misfortune and adjourned the meeting to find out the wishes of creditors in Rotorua. Mr. Morris remarked on the fact that, since bankrupt came to Auckland in March this year, he had spent about £2OO. For the bankrupt, Mr. E. H. Northcroft said that the money had gone in living expenses. Mr. Morris added that some of the Rotorua creditors had asked that a meeting should be held there.
